13164	Unable to build Boost.Iostreams with pre-built zlib on Windows	listhex@…	Jonathan Turkanis	"I want zlib to be statically linked to the iostreams library 

Command line approach:

b2 --with-iostreams link=static -sNO_ZLIB=0 -sNO_COMPRESSION=0 -sZLIB_INCLUDE=e:/zlib/include -sZLIB_LIBRARY_PATH=e:/
b/lib -sZLIB_BINARY=zlib.lib -sZLIB_NAME=zlib --debug-configuration

After that I get :
unresolved external symbol ""int const boost::iostreams::zlib::best_speed"" (?best_speed@zlib@iostreams@boost@@3HB)

unresolved external symbol ""int const boost::iostreams::zlib::best_compression"" (?best_compression@zlib@iostreams@boost@@3HB)

...

The same situation if configure 'using zlib' in user-config.jam:

using zlib : : <include>e:/zlib/include <search>e:/
b/lib <name>zlib : <toolset>msvc ;

and command:
b2 --with-iostreams link=static -sNO_ZLIB=0 -sNO_COMPRESSION=0  --debug-configuration"	Bugs	new	Boost 1.64.0	iostreams	Boost 1.64.0	Problem		iostreams build zlib windows msvc
